A new experience, Warfare

Hi fellas.
First, hello to Sub-Radar-Mike, my 50th follower!


I know Warfare was last week-end, but I didn't really have the time to post. Anyway, as a French gamer, I always wondered what a wargame show could look like on this side of the pond. Well, after 26minutes in a train (I like British Rail btw), I arrived at Reading.

First shock for me, it's well indicated. I was quite early, so I sat and had a small breakfast. I just love British breakfasts...

When the bell struck 10AM, a whole new world appeared in front of me: shops by the dozens, gamers, demos... I must say I was impressed.

There you had enough stuff to start a long life full of projects...

GZG... Please, no...

 Peter Pig... No, no nooooo

 Pendraken... Please God, don't tempt me like this...

Magister Militum... I'm such an humble man, please spare me...

And then... I succombed...Warlord Games you devils!

... essex miniatures... Strike two

Fortunately for me, God sent me an angel... Nicolas, the editor of the French wargame magazine, Vae Victis:

And what could 2 Frenchies do when they meet in England? They sit, drink coffee and talk about wargame... And he proposed me to write an article. Good idea.

Well that's it for now, I still need to sort out the pictures I took. I'll talk later about the tournaments, the demos and the stuff I bought.

Salut à tous amis francophones. Le week-end dernier avait lieu la convention Warfare à Reading, banlieue ouest de Londres. Comme vous pouvez le voir sur les premières images, c'est du lourd, et oui j'ai kraké, j'en parlerai plus tard. Franchement, si on est un amateur de tournoi, c'est un incontournable. Et que dire des marchands... Je suis reparti avec une bonne dizaine de projets en tête, et avec la carte de visite de Nicolas Stratigos, redac chef de Vae Victis... Ben ouais, 2 Français à Reading. Franchement, ça m'a fait plaisir de le voir, et lui tout autant. on a beaucoup parlé wargames, des tendances en Angleterre, des projets avec les fabricants, mais là, je dis rien. Franchement, Nico, ce fut super sympa, et la prochaine que tu traverses le tunnel, on se fait un Burger King quand tu veux ;) A très bientôt pour la suite de mon petit voyage en banlieue.
